Surely this could be the moment for glass fiber reinforced concrete to take center stage. It really should just last forever.

My understanding is that alkali-resistant glass is required, but the 18% ZrO2 used means that it isn't much cheaper than using carbon fiber, which seems to have slowly taken over. But GFRC is bright white, while carbon fiber makes a greyish product, so the former is preferred for decoration.
